+## [2026-09-01] — v0.35.0 · Actionable issue blockers
+
+### Added
+
+- **Issue detail exposes native dependency blockers directly.** Operators can search for an open blocking issue, navigate to it, add more blockers, or remove a blocker without discovering the Relations tab first.
+- **Active blockers have a clear issue-level state.** A responsive banner lists each open dependency and explains that the issue clears automatically when every blocker is done or canceled.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Dashboard Blocked uses the canonical dependency predicate.** The attention category now shows issues blocked by open `BLOCKED_BY` relations and removes them from ordinary work lanes.
+- **Human attention remains distinct from dependency state.** `/blocked <reason>` continues to open an operator-attention request instead of claiming that an issue dependency exists.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Stalled runs are no longer duplicated as blocked issues.** Agent exceptions and dependency blockers now retain separate meanings and counts.

+- Prepared the `0.35.0` version bump and curated release notes for native issue

+  dependency blocking from operator-attention requests.
+- AXI-187 owns the serialized release PR, immutable tag, production deployment,
